Don't Mention The War  Above is an extravagantly posed action shot from Boris' hopeless production of Murder At Priorswell Manor. Joanne playing Ginette playing the dim Virginia Cholmondley watches David playing Harrison playing the greasy, dreadfully accented Mr Papadopoulos taunt Neal playing Tim playing stiff upper lipped Major Rodney Pirbright about his experiences during the First World War.
This led to Neal going into a gloriously over the top, tour de force shellshock routine - trembling and twitching, dropping on one knee and firing an imaginary machine gun and lobbing imaginary grenades - before pulling out his pistol and attempting suicide! But his bullet goes astray and smashes a vase. Or it would have if the pistol hadn't consistently misfired every night! Ray had the same problem in Hound Of The Baskervilles, practically having to club the hound to death with the butt!

Murder In the Title  The third play in a row with "Murder" in the title. The Haltemprice Herald used to claim that we majored in thrillers and that was in 1990 after we’d only done two! So heaven knows what they would have made of our "Murder" season. It wasn’t planned that way, really. And we've only done one other play with "Murder" in the title since!

Was I In That One?  Yippee! We finally got Mandy up before an audience. Even if she spent half the play in a cupboard. But Mark left to pursue his college studies.

Quote, Unquote  Great play for the bowels - had to eat lots of celery! Jenny
My first play and I got to play a grumpy stage manager Mandy
